The 2021 St. Clare Knights win Knights Cup at 11th Annual St. Clare of Assisi Golf Tournament.  Area Knights of Columbus Councils assemble golf teams from their membership to compete for the coveted Knights Cup. The team of Mike Hahn, Jerry Moch, Greg Peck, and Luis Zepeda shot a 59 to best 4 other Knights teams.  The fundraiser was held at Battleground Golf Course on Saturday, March 27, and benefits the St. Clare of Assisi Catholic School and the many charities of the St. Clare Knights of Columbus.  Thanks to all the Knights, school staff, and family members that worked so hard to make the tournament a success.

The St. Clare Knights have participated in the American Wheelchair Mission for many years.  This year with our concerted effort the Council was able to donate an amazing 21 wheelchairs.  Each $150 donation allows the Knights to deliver a brand new wheelchair ($450 retail value) to those in desperate need of mobility. Please take a moment to watch this moving video, Texas Knights Living the Gospel, to see how lives are being changed.
